Everyone can see my screen as i am typing right behind the performer
hi
Thought (after): its very quiet in here - the piece we are watching, is very quiet at the moment, one of the main sounds (except all the sounds that are of course +1 to here - like people walking past chatting, like a door slamming) is TYPING ON A KEYBOARD - how does my typing now interfere with this?
@Rachel Lois Clapham hi Rachel Lois
HI I am trying to type REALLY QUIETLY
We are reading words on a screen - and there is this QUIET murmer of someone reading them.
Rachel Lois is in the front row.
One performer reads text on paper, another reads the same text on screen, so these texts are actually quite different.
my screen faces the audience, I do not
Welcome to our watchers! If you would like to comment feel free to do so. (even if it is to just say hi - so that we know you are there and the bit at the top of the screen that says (5 watchers) is not just an error or some sort of trickery.
5?
How is your screen you? How is my screen me?
My screen -Well, I am in someone elses work, I am paying attention to that persons' work, but when i look at my own keyboard - my own screen- to do this (this) i look away from the work. What is this looking away?
I'm looking at the work for a bit now-radio silence pending
Some sort of multiplying of screens going on right now:
1. My screen
2. my screen
3. Her screen (the BIG screen in the performance)
4. The current document window on that screen (document 11)
5. and the many other windows behind it
And her screen is framed not only by the screen itself but also by Microsoft Word - so we see text appearing, text made at some point by the artist - BUT ALSO - 'Document Elements', 'Quick Tables', 'Charts', 'SmartArt Graphics', 'Word Art'
@Rachel Lois Clapham Is a window a screen?
file, edit, view, insert, format, font, tools, table, window, work, help - a certain familliarity to the screen space we are currently watching - these WORDS, this TEXT always +1 to writing in/on Microsoft Word.
hmmm... they are all different views, pages, windows within the screen. Maybe the difference is matter, material, which makes no difference to me
I feel very +1 right now, it's difficult doing this when it is so quiet and only the sound of keyboard happeneing. Sometimes the sound of the keyboard is mine!
And there are all these icons at the bottom of the screen - some I recognise, some I don't
@Rachel Lois Clapham Okay - how is a keyboard click no different to a cough, or a shuffle or a creaking chair?
Akillas asks - How to describe something?
Grammar corrections on Microsoft Word as +1
